I’ve been feeling the weight of my task. The responsibility! Whilst I believe that I still have deschooling to do, I have made a few mini steps this week. I’m glad I see this as a huge responsibility, the futures of my children and their happiness is top of my lists (I love lists!).
It’s been a tough two weeks with Daniel breaking his leg. Also because I have felt a little lost I’ve been absent a bit. Not physically, but mentally I’ve not been present as much as I should. There’s this thing called technology… in particular facebook, and often times I get sucked in to reading stuff that has no relevance to me! It feeds on our curiosity. And because all the things I read are ‘grown-up’ problems, they make me feel like I’m part of the world. Which is something that hanging out with kids does not do. So, time to banish the overuse of technology, and be really present. No more on the spot instagram and facebook uploads. I do not care how many likes I receive, the comments about how wonderful we all are (or sympathy I receive if that’s the genre of post I write, though generally I do not whinge on fb). We are not on show. The important thing is my family. I will take pics with my camera for review later. For my family to enjoy, to save a moment in time that held significance for us to remember in years to come. And for this blog. Why do I want to share? I want this blog to be memories for my family. SO, that’s the renewed focus.
